Voice from BrucctOn.

Editor Argus:
We see a communication in the
Journal of last week urging the cleo
ton of Edward S. Elliott for Super.
intendent of schools. The journals
correspondent is right, and the peO-
pie of the county can do no wiser
thing than to elect Mr.. Elliott. This
is no reflection on the other gentle
men who have announced themselves.
There is no brighter, promising or
deserCiug young man in the State
than Ed. Elliott. His education is
thorough, and his mind ever active
and awake. If Mr.. Elliott should
sec fit to become candidate, and
we hope he will-pO better man can
be placed in the field. He is a
thorough scholar, practical teacher,
both OF students and teachers, and
gentleman Of culture and refine
nent, all Of v hich qualifications com
bined make him suitable candidate.
We hope he will permit his name to
be used. There should be no poll
tics in this matter, and Democrats
and Republicans alike, should sup
port the person best qualified for the
position.
VoTER,
For the information of "Voter,"
We will state that Mr. Elliott is an

The unprecedented sale of Bos-
chee's German Syrup within a few
years, has astonished the world.
1t is without doubt the safest and
best remedy ever discovered for the
speedy and eHectual cure for Colds,
Coughs, an6 the severest Lung
Troubles. 1t acts upon an entirely
different principle from the prescrip-
tiods usually given by physicians.
as it does not dry up Cough and
leave the disease still in the system,
but on the contrary removes the
cause of the trouble, heals the parts
affected and leaves them in purely
healthy condition. A bottle kept in
the house for use when the diseases
make their appearance, will save
doctors bills and long spell of Sc
rious illness. A trial will convince
you of these facts. 1t is positively
sold by all druggists and general
dealers in the land. Price 75 cts,

The Legislature, at its last session,
so amended the law relating to deer
that they can only be killed now be-
tween the 18th day of September and
the 18th day of December. They can.
not be run or chased with dogs, at
any time, for the next FIVE years.
The penalty for violating this law is
$50 for each offence. This is a good
law and we hope to see it rigidly en-.
forced, if it is, we will in few years
have plenty of deer.

worked from twelve to seventeen hours day
all his life have heard this kind Of talk all
my life and don't think il is fair as against
the working men. The work Of Mr. Hewitt
has been solely directed to his own interest
There was inspiration behind it. That OF the
ordinary toil-r is a weary grind from which
he can hope to derive but passing benefit
There is wide difference, therefore, between
the two Gases And another thing. Ii in
working as he has Mr. Hewitt has violated
the laws Of health, fail To SEE how his in
dustry is praiseworthy. And the same is
true if his close application has caused him
TO neglect his social duties and the civilzing
amenities Of life. Temperance is good
thing in regard TO work as well as in the mat
ter Of drink or anything else And the gos-
pei of overwork, II it were generally adopted,
